Fair Horse in Sherry

The Horse Fair is one of the most important celebrations in Jerez and has been declared as international interest celebration. Its origins are in the medieval ages, during one week farmers gathered to sell and buy animals, in Jerez mainly horses, usually drinking sherry to celebrate the deals. Nowadays it is celebrated in González Hontoria Park. It is always celebrated in May. The Fair is divided in two parts: one is a kind of small village, with streets that have bars and restaurants at both sides (these restaurants are called Casetas). The other is a Theme Park/carnival style area where kids and grown ups can have fun on different rides such as roller coasters, bumper cars, etc...
At the Fair all the casetas are public, so anyone can just walk into any one and enjoy the food, drinks, and dancing. This is one of the main features that differentiates it from the Seville Fair as most of the "casetas" there are private and therefore only card holding members are allowed in. In the casetas, throughout the day and night, people will usually be found drinking sherry  wine, and in more recent years a new trend is to mix the wine with lemonade and ice cubes creating a cocktail commonly known as Rebujito. At night time there is a sort of "roof" of pretty decorative lights lighting this little "village" like area, which allows the party to last all the way till dawn.
